- If the decision to implement 2CUL Alma in 2015 goes forward, work together to develop and adjust workflows (such as joint claiming of serials) in the new system to maximize effectiveness for the integrated technical services operation. If the decision to implement 2CUL Alma is postponed beyond 2015, work together to develop and adjust workflows using our separate Voyager systems to the same end. Test and pilot new ideas, as appropriate, in consultation with staff from the Starr East Asian Library, the TSI JSMIN group, and the TSI assessment leads.
- In conjunction with Alma testing, and in consultation with 2CUL JSMIN and other 2CUL library divisions, evaluate structural and procedural policies in the two institutions related to check-in, series standing orders, and binding/adding.
- Evaluate ways in which to exchange information about serials handling and problem-solving at the two institutions.
- Develop combined title lists and explore business-related and workflow efficiencies.
- Provide input for the creation of a space for shared TSI documentation. Edit and package existing and new cataloging documentation for optimal use in this shared space (expected sometime in 2014), keeping in mind the eventual need to distinguish between 2CUL and locally specific guidelines.
- Maintain an inventory of relevant expertise, as needed.
- Provide assistance to the TSI Steering Committee in the form of feedback and, if necessary, data to measure the costs and benefits of all the preceding steps, plus any new 2CUL tasks or initiatives related to this charge. This evaluation will guide future decisions about the practicality of long-term integration of monograph ordering print serial functions and initiatives.
- Communicate regularly with the 2CUL TSI Steering Committee, through the designated liaison with that group and/or through publicly posted meeting notes, reports, or other announcements.
